Regulatory and Legislative Matters in Education

Education

We are well-versed in the many regulatory obligations imposed on higher education institutions and for-profit education companies, and regularly provide advice on the areas of most pressing and consistent concern. We also represent numerous universities and educational companies before Congress, assuring that their interests are taken into account in legislation.

Experience

  • Advise universities and commercial organizations on compliance with federal education laws.

  • Advise clients on the regulatory constraints surrounding research and product development in biotech, medical and other spheres, and on the increasingly regulated domain of data privacy.
  • Advise university clients looking to export their technology on export controls pertaining to the transfer of technical data to overseas parties and the employment of foreign nationals—such as graduate students—in research conducted in the United States.
  • Helped ensure that federal stimulus funds would be directed to school systems that need to acquire certain instructional materials.
